Ash Lawn Opera is in the middle of an exciting 2008 season featuring two shows: the tragic and stormy tale of Bizet’s Carmen and the delightfully witty story of Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady. The Festival will also present two evenings of the world’s best loved music in its Music at Twilight Series.
All performances are sung in English in the Boxwood Gardens of Ash Lawn-Highland. The best thing about Ash Lawn shows is you can picnic before everything starts. If you already knew about Veritas Ash Lawn has a very classy, intimate atmosphere for your picnicking love. It’s a great family and date destination. If you are worried about what to bring, head over to Feast for your picnic basket. You won’t be disappointed.
Let us know if you’ve been! Also, to let everyone know, this may be the last year for the summer series at Ash Lawn, so make sure you get there before they end the outdoor experience.
Upcoming Shows:
July 18 - Mozart & More, a night of arias, duets and ensembles from some of the world’s finest classical composers.
July 5th through August 9th - My Fair Lady
July 19th through August 10 - Carmen
…more pictures of “My Fair Lady” after the break…

I had a wonderful time at La Boheme last year. I haven’t heard about this possibly being the last year– what happened?
There was an article in the DP about a possible move….still up in the air, though. How cool is it that Charlottesville has an opera festival! Can’t wait to see this year’s shows!!
Thanks for posting this Kyle! I think a better link for the Opera Festival is this
